I too feel for the bomber intercept gents.
Our side sure don't have enough numbers to attack a bomber stream with any type of effectiveness. I believe we could've sent all our fighters to the bomber stream and still lost out against it.
In my opinion it appears it may not be worth going after heavy bombers. Have a few fighters go up against the buffs, but just to antagonize the fighters.
Use fighter/bombers to bomb targets where we get big points, while the cap for the buffs salivate on thinking about hitting fighters trying for the buffs. Atleast for the first heavy bomb run and then if they don't change their tactics; do the same for the second
heavy bomber run.
Then on top of that we have to worry about people not following rules that state at T-160 if not engaged it's time to RTB and not run to airbases hoping to vulch returning aircraft. Which happened in frame 3 and 4.
FWIW
